I also recommend LibraryThing. Basically free and very easy to use. It's in the cloud, so there's no software for you to maintain. There's no circulation system, I think, but I just use old fashioned pockets and cards, since we are too small to be issuing any kind of library card. The Hebrew issue might make a difference for you, but I just transliterate my Hebrew books. I also suggest you look at the AJL knowledgebase and hasafran archives. This question comes up regularly, and many of us have posted before.
